Millions of wild animals each year are caught & slaughtered in this
“Game Management Trap,” which few people understand or oppose. As long as
this system continues, no wild species will be able to live in peace. The
livestock industry is also part of this system, and this industry demands
that wild animals be controlled (trapped, poisoned, shot, burned out of
dens, etc.), so Domestic Livestock can graze on National Forests, Wildlife
Refuges, wilderness areas & other public lands. Most wildlife groups appear
to be afraid of the livestock special interests, bending over backwards to
appease them by sanctioning coyote/wolf hazing techniques and grazing permit
buyouts, which only seems to embolden the wildlife killers.

Teddy Roosevelt (remember him, the Trophy Hunter?), founded the infamous
Boone & Crockett Club (Wolf Killer Aldo Leopold was also a member). From
both of these serial animal killers, came the Game Management Ideology–which
is the bible for State and Federal Wildlife (Game) agencies—and too often,
wildlife groups which claim to “defend” wildlife.

And, what does this Humanist “game” ideology preach, that makes it so
popular and supported by so-called “wildlife” groups like Defenders? It
preaches the idea that wild animals are something to be used, within
“sustainable levels” by humans–for hunting/trapping, viewing, and otherwise
getting some kind of human satisfaction. Some wildlife groups, then, can
take the easier road of compromise and collaboration with the enemies of
wildlife, (hunters/trappers/ranchers), by “working with them to help
wildlife.”

This hunter-conservation/game management nonsense permeates every agency
that deals in anyway with wild animals. It is designed to “conserve”
populations to a point where they can be killed, and to manipulate such
populations to artificially create more animals to be “used” (i.e., hunted,
trapped, etc.) Because this management model is all about manipulation of
species and habitat for human use, certain populations are increased so they
may provide animal killers (hunters), with targets, such as deer, elk,
caribou, ducks, geese, etc. It is all about species/habitat manipulation,
that so-called “predators” such as wolves, coyotes, bears, wolverines,
beavers, foxes, bobcat, mountain lion & other species considered “nuisance
animals” must be “controlled,” under this barbaric, anti-wildlife system.

Millions of wild animals each year are caught & slaughtered in this “Game
Management Trap,” which few people understand or oppose. As long as this

This massive wildlife slaughter is taking a terrible toll on all wild
species around the planet. Now add to this, uncontrolled human population &
increasing climate changes, which are killing habitat, food & water sources
for non-human beings. Extinction will be Forever! Why are wild species and
wild habitat so important? Its about Biodiversity, wild things (flora and
fauna) that are intertwined in the Life Support System of this planet:
without The Wild, all life dies. The Earth can do just fine without Homo
sapiens. But, without wild species–down to the most simple bacteria in the
soils, air & oceans–nothing will survive.

As long as wildlife groups like Defenders and others continue to
shamefully follow the game management philosophy of Leopold and Teddy
Roosevelt, wild animal populations will be harassed, maimed, and killed, to
appease special interests like hunter/trappers, ranchers.

So, what are all you sell-out wildlife groups going to do now? Compromise
even more with a new, more virulent anti-environmental/wildlife president
and congress?
